TAYLOR: I looked at Jess in shock when I realized she was serious about wearing that short pink dress and absolutely nothing else. She tilted her head back and laughed as I stared at her, and went about finishing what little makeup she wore. She quickly twisted her hair back into a loose french braid, and tied it with a light pink hairtie, that matched her dress. She turned to me, kissed my cheek lightly and went into the bathroom. "Back in a sec, then we can go.." she smiled and closed the door. I quick ran a comb through my hair, grabbed my wallet and stuffed it in my back pocket, hooking the chain to my belt loop by the time she reappeared. I grabbed my cell and put it on my belt, as she grabbed hers and stuck it in her small bag. "Ready baby?" she grinned. "Aren't you forgetting something?" I asked. "Nope. You have 'em in your pocket silly..." she giggled, picked up her sandals and raced down the stairs. "Oh my god.." I breathed, "I am NOT gonna live through this afternoon.." I chuckled, patted my pocket and ran to catch up with my beautiful wife. I got to the door ahead of her, and stood in her way. "Now what?" she giggled. "Nothing. I just wanted to kiss you again.." I said softly and caressed her bare shoulders. I pulled her to me and kissed her, lightly tracing her lips with my tongue and then slid my hands down her body, cupping her sexy backside through the fabric of her dress and squeezing it, and grinding myself against her. I heard her moan softly, kissed her again, and quickly let go. "Are you ready baby?" I grinned, raisng my eyebrow at her. She licked her lips and smiled up at me. "We're expected at your mom's so I guess you'll just have to WAIT to find out, huh?" she caressed my cheek and sailed out the door, leaving ME standing breathless in the faint scent of her vanilla laced lotion and light perfume. "Daamn.." I breathed and followed her out the door.
	ZAC: It was almost 3pm by the time my lazy ass brother and his wife showed up at my mom's, and I really wanted to see Jess' reaction to the news about Leigh's offer. I was happy for her, it was a huge honor and probably the first time Leigh had been offered something that hadn't been offered to Jess first. Not that Jess would accept, she and Taylor revolved around each other and it always seemed like she rearranged her schedule around his, or Jake did. I was glad to see that she was feeling much more like herself, as Tay helped her out of the truck. She bounced down and planted a big wet kiss on his cheek as he shut the door and stuffed his keys in his pocket. He reached out and tugged the end of her braid lightly and she laughed, turned around and grabbed him around the waist. She pressed herself right up against him and kissed him so deeply I had to look away for a minute. "Ewwww! They're here mom...UGH..they're so weird.." I hollered over my shoulder as Leigh giggled. "Yeah Zac...they love each other you goober and they're newlyweds. Give 'em a break.." "They're ALWAYS like that.." I rolled my eyes and turned back to the window. They finally had parted and Tay brushed a lock of hair out of Jessie's eyes, he said something to her and she laughed again, tugging his hand and pulling him behind her. He said something else and she swung around quickly with her hand on her hip, and whatever he said made her toss her head back and laugh, then spin and run for the door, but not before he swatted her backside. He chased her up the steps and I yanked the door open before she could knock. "What are you gonna pay me to protect you from that geek?" I asked, grinning and blocking her entrance to the house. "I won't kick your ass to Dallas, bonehead..." she laughed and ducked under my arm as Tay came crashing through the door. tay and I looked at each other as he swore, "Damn!" he grinned, "You think I'd be in better shape.." I shook my head and shut the door behind him. "Where the hell have you been all day? Mom's a basket case.." "Home. Sleeping... Jess turned the phone off. She didn't want to talk to her stepfather if he somehow got hold of our number." he said, keeping his voice low, which told me it was still a very touchy subject with Jess. "Jake stopped by around noon and woke us up, so Jess decided she needed to feed him along with her own loud stomach." he finished, raising his voice to a normal level. We looked over at Jess and Leigh who were sitting on the couch together, chattering with low voices thier heads bent close together, like our sisters when one was telling the other a secret. Suddenly Jessie leaned back and looked at Leigh, her eyes as wide as saucers. "Nooooo....NO WAY!" she exclaimed excitedly. Leigh nodded and grinned, her eyes sparkling with excitement as well. "AHHHHH!!! WAAAATTTLEY!!! THAT'S SO AWESOME!!" Jess squealed and hugged Leigh so hard I thought she'd have to struggle to breathe. Leigh looked up at me over Jess' shoulders, her eyes hopeful. Jess pulled away and looked Leigh in the eye. "Holy shit, Zac," Tay grinned. "What'd ya do? Get engaged while I was gone?" he joked. "Yeah, funny.." I snapped, suddenly feeling like she was gone already. "Whoa..sorry man. What's up?" he asked. "Sorry Tay. I didn't mean to bite your head off." "Oh my god! Watts...but it shoots in...oh no.." Jess face fell as she realized the whole situation. "If you do when does it start?" "Three months.." Leigh answered and looked at me. "I need a beer..want one?" I elbowed Tay for an answer. "Yeah..thanks.." he said and I stalked off before anyone could stop me.
